set_paths

To make all scripts relocatable. The layout of my project is: /some/path/myproject/ /some/path/myproject/some_script /some/path/myproject/some_other_script /some/path/myproject/set_paths.py /some/path/myproject/setttings.py /some/path/myproject/lib/ # some external libraries/apps checked in with my project. /some/path/myproject/myapp/ # my apps etc. This way myproject folder can be moved anywhere on the file system, and calling right path, settings.py is used.

better paginator template tag

This is slight improvement over [Paginator|Snippet 73](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/73/). That used to not work properly if querystring already contains other parameters, like search result page. website/paginator.html: <br /><center> <span class="lbottom"> {% if has_previous %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ previous }}"><< Previous </a>{% else %}<span>Previous </span>{% endif %} {% if show_first %}<a href="{{ path }}page=1">First </a>{% endif %} {% for page_no in page_numbers %} {% ifnotequal page_no page %} <a href="{{ path }}page={{ page_no }}">{{ page_no }} </a> {% else %} {{ page_no }} {% endifnotequal %} {% endfor %} {% if show_last %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ pages }}">Last </a>{% endif %} {% if has_next %}<a href="{{ path }}page={{ next }}">Next >></a>{% else %}<span>Next </span>{% endif %} </span> <br /></center>

ajax error sink

Often its useful to get error information for ajax/javascript errors happening on various clients. This can go to something like this: # error_sink def error_sink(request): # post request, with event name in "event", and event data in "data" context = request.REQUEST.get("context", "") context = cgi.parse_qs(context) context["data"] = cgi.parse_qs(context.get("data", [""])[0]) context["user"] = request.vuser context["referrer"] = request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER', "referrer not set") context = pformat(context) send_mail( "ajax error", context, "[email protected]", ["[email protected]",], fail_silently=True ) return JSONResponse({"status": "ok" }) # }}}
